How Leaders Benefit from Employee Engagement

If you’re running a business, you already know how valuable time is. Every free moment can be allocated to something that will help the organization grow. 

When you have more engaged employees, you’ll spend less time micromanaging and have a lot more time for:

·       Addressing any backlogs in work and evaluating employee performance to find room for improvement.

·       Working on projects you might not usually be able to justify spending time on.

·       Engaging in activities that you might not typically have time for, but that might be beneficial to the business, like networking events. 

As a leader, you want to always put forth your best effort. Each day you’re setting an example for the people who work for you, and when they are invested in work, it leaves room for you to reach your full potential. 

To develop more strategies our Great Engagement: Engage and Mobilize Employees Training Program focuses on simple but powerful behaviours that will have maximum impact on a leader’s ability to engage his or her employees.

Reduce Your HR Issues with Improved Employee Engagement

Simply put, happier employees are easier to manage whereas unhappy, disinterested employees are more difficult. If you want to reduce workplace issues like firings and other unpleasant hassles, you’ll want to start by encouraging employee engagement.

When managing your teams, keep in mind:

·       People work better when they feel like what they’re doing means something.

·       Positive reinforcement is underestimated—and free.

·       Listen to employee feedback and make a genuine effort to attend to reasonable requests.  

When it comes to curating the right work environment, managers are responsible for much of the energy that envelops the office. With that in mind, you want to make sure you foster an environment that makes people want to return to work the next day, not savor every moment leading up to it.

Master Your Mind, Master Your Life

Imagine what would be possible if you could choose:

  • to not stress out over what you can’t control
  • push away self-doubts
  • recover from disappointments immediately and
  • spend little time in anger, regret, or blame.

This is absolutely possible with mental fitness training. In as little as 10 seconds, you can:

1. Develop greater mastery over your own mind
2. Quiet the negative and
3. Activate the positive region of your brain.

In fact, MRI research found that within 6-8 weeks of mental fitness training the brain’s grey matter:

  • increased in the Sage PQ brain region and
  • decreased in the Saboteur “survival brain” region

Enroll in the Positive Intelligence®: Mental Fitness Foundation Program.

The next program begins May 28.

A More Engaged Workforce Leads to Improved Recruiting and Retention

Employees that are more engaged with their work are naturally going to become more invested over time. This sense of connection to work makes it much more likely for someone to stick around. It also makes it more attractive to prospective employees when you’re working on recruitment efforts. 

Before your business experiences this sort of trickle-down effect, you’ll need to make sure you’re implementing the right practices to get your workforce engaged: 

·       Offer long-term incentives for employees who stay with the company for a certain number of years. 

·       Create an employee referral program where current employees can recommend qualified applicants for open positions.

·       Offer short-term rewards as recognition for current employees (or something similar that recognizes their work on a current, recurring basis).

Improve Your Work Teams with Great Employee Engagement

If you’re in charge of managing teams at work, you know how difficult things can get when people become distracted or lose interest in the topic at hand.

The reality is that not every work situation is necessarily interesting. However, to experience the benefits that come along with certain roles, you need to put in the work in other, less inviting areas. 

Reminders for Your Team

·       Try to pay attention and get questions answered the first time around—you’ll save yourself time and anxiety.

·       Teamwork truly is everything—if everyone contributes, tasks become easier for everyone.

·       Putting in effort from the beginning means you’ll have it easier later.

At the end of the day, you just need to make sure your team understands that they benefit from their own engagement. 

To develop more strategies our Great Engagement: Engage and Mobilize Employees Training Program focuses on simple but powerful behaviours that will have maximum impact on a leader’s ability to engage his or her employees.

Leader, what responsibilities have you accepted?

“From great power comes great responsibility.” Versions of this adage has been attributed to many people and became popular in the comic book story of Spiderman. With the superpower he possessed, he felt responsible for using it for good.

Leadership is not that much different from being a superhero. Yes, a leader may not have superpowers like Spiderman or any other superhero, but a leader’s superpower is to lead others toward success. This is so much a greater and stronger power since it can be used by real people in a real world.

Hence, being a leader requires a deep sense of responsibility, towards themselves and others.

The power to lead people towards the leader’s and the organization’s vision comes with responsibilities like keeping everyone on the team inspired towards the bigger picture; helping them grow; and ensuring everyone is aligned in the same direction.

It isn’t easy to be a leader nor is it for the faint of heart! Being a leader comes with a lot of responsibilities and true leaders are willing to accept them all.

There are instances when sometimes it makes us feel better to blame others or something else when things go wrong. This, however, is not practiced by a good leader.

Making excuses and blaming someone else or something for a failed job or task is not a quality of a good leader. A good leader accepts the fact that something went wrong and works with their team so that everyone, leader included, learns from the mistakes. When things go wrong, a leader uses the situation as an opportunity for everyone to learn and grow.

Leaders don’t have control over others or their actions. Leaders do, however, have full control over their own actions and behaviours – one of the biggest and most important responsibilities for a leader.

So leader, what responsibilities have you decided to accept?

Praise More Often to Increase Employee Engagement

 

“Appreciate everything your associates do for the business. Nothing else can quite substitute for a few well-chosen, well-timed, sincere words of praise. They’re absolutely free and worth a fortune.” – Sam Walton

The Great Engagement is a call to action to praise more often.

Do you praise your employees easily, sincerely and often?

If not, you may be losing out on an opportunity to trigger a dopamine release which can then boost innovative thinking and creative problem-solving.

Tips to Take Action

  • Catch someone doing something well and praise them promptly.
  • Consider how each employee would like to be praised – publicly, privately, in person, by email, on social media, etc.

While there is no quick fix, there are simple leadership practices that can produce immediate improvements in engagement.
